John Sutton was all gushing with confidence and support given all information about a case, made very clear to him about the specifics. He was late to court, late night conversations (b/c) he wouldn't return phone or emails during the day...so later night conversations were slurred and nonsensical on... his end. He was not only not prepared at court, which were continually delayed due to his negligence and lack of preparation and had no answers or defense for the judge that Sutton should have known. These were discussed and he had all the information on this case of innocence. He was trying a case of innocence that was easily provable had he done any research or remembered the specifics of the case as well as evidence that would easily show innocence, He failed to asked opposing counsel questions, or demonstrated any facts in the case or request the information that PROVED this was the wrong person. The outcome, due to his lack of counsel resulted negative on our behalf. He didn't care, was unprepared and mostly appeared incapacitated. The only thing he seemed to be on top of, thanks to his office manager was the continual billing. Bad, bad deal. Look elsewhere. I write reviews with integrity. Good reviews so many are deserving, but not reviewed by many and they mean so much. Negative reviews, I think long and hard about knowing how serious they should be before you put that out there, so my negatives are very seldom. This negative review not only is warranted, but very deserving. I would represent myself or a family member before I would use this cluster of mistakes named John E Sutton. Sad but true. Look elsewhere for you own sake.

John did not return any of my phone calls after he was hired . Once I hired him and paid him, all communication on his part ended and he never showed up to my court dates. When paperwork was due to be handed in, he would literally do it the day before. John also refused to be fired. I called and ...fired him at which point, he continued to charge me and act as my lawyer. I called over and over again firing him. I also fired him speaking directly to his secretary numerous times since he would not get on the phone, to no avail. He then refused to work and provide paperwork to my new attorney. My case was prolonged due to John's absence at court dates and the fact that I had to hire new representation.
